    About Watermelon Juice

    Watermelon juice is a refreshing beverage made from the juice of ripe watermelons and lemon juice. This juice is a popular choice during summer as it has high water content and natural sweetness which is the best thirst quencher.

    Watermelon juice is hydrating and naturally making it an excellent choice for a hot day. Watermelon Juice is rich in vitamins and antioxidants, particularly vitamin C.

    Additionally, it’s a versatile base for creating various refreshing beverages, such as watermelon lemonade or watermelon smoothies. This juice is the best choice for quenching your thirst on a hot day.

    Watermelon is nature’s gift to us so utilize it completely especially during summer. Choose watermelon that is heavy which indicates that it is a good watermelon.

    The beautiful vibrant red color is because of the high content of lycopene in it. The ruby red drink is so tempting and does so much good to our body. Watermelon os a super food that has 92% water content so instantly hydrates us. Watermelon is rich in antioxidants as it is high in potassium.

    Though ready made juice and aerated juices are easily and readily available fresh juices has its own benefits. Also ready made juices are loaded with artificial colors, flavors and preservatives to extend shelf life which is not at all good for health.

    Expert Tips

    • You can add sugar or honey if your watermelon is not sweet. If your watermelon variety is sweet then you can skip the sweetener itself.
    • I refrigerated the watermelons so didn’t add ice cubes while serving, you can also add 1-2 ice cubes.
    • Adding salt or chat masala powder gives a nice punch you can try that.
    • Make sure to stir it well before serving as the water might settle down at the bottom.
    • If you like chilled watermelon juice then refrigerate the fruit for a while before making the juice.

    Serving & Storage Suggestion

    You can serve it as such or with few ice cubes. Fruit juices are best when consumed fresh so I would not recommend storing it. However you can store the cut cubed fruit in fridge for 2 days and make juice when needed.

    Watermelon juice keeps well in room temperature for 4-6 hours and in fridge for 1 day. You can pour the juice in mold, freeze it and make popsicles too.

    FAQS

    1.Can I add sugar to watermelon juice?

    Yes you can add sugar or honey or any other sweetener of your choice. However if the fruit is sweet then you need no sweetener at all.

    2.How long can a cut watermelon be stored in fridge?

    Whole watermelon cut into half or wedges can last in fridge for 2 days. Watermelon cut, cleaned and cubed can be stored in fridge for up to 3 days.

      did you de-seed the watermelon? if so, how? that's one reason i rarely make a juice out of it. I find it very tedious to remove all the seeds and despite my best efforts, some always stay in 🙁
